Chapter 040 Stewardship

There was no longer the figure of the young man in red and green, and it seemed that even the footprints he left had disappeared, except for the place where she and Li Miaoxian had stepped on, the snow was smooth.

Xiuzhu raised her eyes and looked around, except for some scattered petals and scattered flower branches on the snow, it was a vast white, and she couldn't see her light green veil at all.

Someone must have done the finishing work here. Who could it be? Xiuzhu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled like a fox.

Traces are traces, no matter how clean you are, as long as you are careful, you will always find clues, and it is also on the snow. One of the first things that Xiuzhu thought of was to clear the surface of the surface, so that the snow would be more solid where it was stepped on below.

However, she looked at the snow on the ground again, and shivered at first, and quickly denied her idea. That's a lot of work! Especially on such a snowy day, she prefers to stay in the warm house, and as for the outside, she has seen enough of the beautiful scenery.

Turning her head and seeing the messy footprints around her, she had an idea, so she spread her feet, and ran aimlessly on the snow of Merlin, occasionally encountering a low plum tree, so she reached out and pulled it, and when she let go, the petals on it scattered with snow, and she had run away.

Running and running, it snowed again in the sky, at first it was sporadic and scattered, and soon it was raised, Xiuzhu stopped, raised his head, and looked at a green calyx plum, this tree was planted on the wall, the bark was light gray with green, the bark looked very smooth, at this time the plum blossoms were just right, the calyx was green, and a layer of snow floated on it, and the flowers looked more delicate.

However, Xiuzhu didn't look at the flower, but looked at the wall along the flower branch.

Because it had already snowed before, there was already a thick layer on the top of the wall, but in one place the snow was a little lower than the others.

That's why there is an outside in the garden, right?

Xiuzhu pouted, secretly scolded "Dengzi", just about to turn around, but found that there seemed to be something shaking on the plum branch not too far from the wall, and when he got closer, he saw a round jade pendant, the jade color was white and translucent, but there was no carving any pattern, but a smaller round hole was left in the middle. Thinking that it is often carried on the body, the jade is made of red, gold, and black silk threads, and a rich and prosperous vein is thin, but the upper end of the veil is broken.

Xiuzhu tiptoed it off and held it in his hand, and there was a faint feeling of warmth in his palm.

"What a good piece of jade!" Xiu Zhu laughed, sleeved up casually, and said to the wall: "It's all regarded as a companion." After saying that, he ran towards Merlin without looking back.

When she ran to the place where she met He Yunqing before, there was no one there, and even the traces that had been stepped on on the snow had faded a lot, and I believed that if it rained for a while and a half, all the traces in Merlin would be buried.

Xiuzhu curled the corners of his mouth and continued to run forward. Because of the snow, there are few people walking on the road.

Soon, she returned to Myoxianju.

Zaozi was following the two mothers-in-law to clean the snow at the entrance of the courtyard, and when she saw Xiuzhu, she raised her head and said with a smile: "Sister Xiuzhu, Miss is not here, I went to Mrs. Before leaving, he ordered to send the two plum blossom vases on the table to Mrs. Tai and Grandpa Guo respectively, and Sister Dangui had already gone to send them to Mrs. Tai. ”

Xiuzhu nodded, turned into the courtyard, entered his own room, and casually threw the jade pendant he picked up into the suitcase, and then went to the main room.

The main room was quiet, there was no one, only a white porcelain plum vase was placed on a table next to it, and several red plum blossoms were inserted in it.

Xiuzhu surrounded the plum bottle, looked left and right, walked to Li Miaoxian's bookcase, pulled out a piece of paper from the drawer, opened the ink, wrote a few words by hand, dried the ink carefully, and then carefully rolled it into a small roll, held it in his hand, turned around and picked up the plum bottle, walked out with light steps, and sent flowers to the front. But Qiao'er, An Guogong is not in the study today, and his scholar has collected flowers and words.

The snow fell for a few days, and because it was close in recent years, the school was suspended, and the people of Miao Xianju rarely went out except for the first day of heavy snowfall, and went out to get some plum blossoms in the snowfall.

But the people in the house are very busy.

Originally, Li Zheng didn't have many relatives, and he could count them with a slap. But as the saying goes: no one asks about the poor in the downtown area, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains. No, since Li Zheng became the new Duke of Anguo, their relatives have also increased.

Mrs. Fang was very busy receiving and giving gifts when she saw the sky. It's just that the old man's energy must be limited, and he wants to call his niece and daughter for help, but he is worried that the previous rumors will spread again, causing his son to be unhappy, and he has fallen for a few days.

Aunt Fang watched from the sidelines, and her eyes were also very hot. It's a pity that Grandpa Guo has spoken, and she doesn't dare to blatantly care. So, Mrs. Fang invited her daughter Li Mei to come over to help.

As soon as Li Mei heard the news, she was so happy that she pretended to say a few words, and asked Mrs. Jia to say something like "You can bear to work hard with my old bones", and she took over all the affairs smoothly.

The mother and daughter made a scene, and Aunt Fang was so angry that her nose was about to crooked, but she couldn't say anything. But from beginning to end, no one seemed to think of asking Mrs. Liu to be the housekeeper, and no one even mentioned a word.

When Li Miaoxian heard these things, the snow had stopped, but the surroundings were frozen solidly, and even the lake was covered with a thin layer of ice.

Fleur sneered, "I'm starting to be a demon again." ”

Green Ju looked at Li Miaoxian worriedly.

Li Miaoxian waved his hand and said, "Whoever takes care of the house, who doesn't care about the house, in fact, it's the same, it's been so many years, and I can see it." It's okay not to let my mother take care of it, I'm afraid that she will run back and forth on this snowy day, and I can't stand it! ”

"Yes." Xiu Zhu laughed, "It's still Miss thoughtful, whether it's Mrs. or not, it's Mrs., what's the matter!" As he spoke, he poured a cup of steaming tea and put it in Li Miaoxian's hand, "Madame's body has been conditioned by Imperial Doctor Zhou, is it better?" ”

He also said: "This is the snow blister we collected last time, and the taste is okay if you pay for it quickly?" Besides, the slave thinks that we should also make a small kitchen here like in the lady's courtyard, and whatever we want to eat will be hot at that time, unlike now, when it is brought to the young lady's mouth, it will become warm. ”

Li Miaoxian took a sip slowly and nodded, "This tea is good, the water is gentle, and it has a dark fragrance of plum blossoms." It's just a pity that there is less collection in the first place. After speaking, he looked at Fleur, "You remember something, and if it snows again in the future, collect more of it." ”
